grab-bag of post! with bonus fic rec!
happy birthday wrenlet, who is still and always my favorite enabler and sharer of tiny fandoms. also she makes a really comforting lentil stew with cocktail weiners. :D
also happy birthday to cantarina1, podficcer! and sharer of nifty-ass linkspams, and also also happy (late >.< ) birthday to beanside, fangirl, writer, and beloved of nilchance. (i got to meet them at the baltimore wincon, and they are very cute together.)
cake and glitter for all!
dancing boys and girls: *boogie*
yesterday was my parents' hanukah party which was marked by way too much food and a lot of fairly noisy small children. (altho the oldest were twelve or so, so do they still count as small children?) they're all cute and generally good kids, but they were, uh, energetic. and loud. i have no idea what it was, but something i ate did not like me, and i still feel kind of blargh, this annoying combination of hungry and stomach-crampy. bah. the food was good, at least until it fought back. but my parents always put on a good spread. and there was a lot of dessert.
i missed hell on wheels but caught the rerun of leverage, which i mostly liked. i enjoyed the case, altho i occasionally find nate annoying. hardison and eliot remained as adorable as ever.
i may or may not have signed up for podficbigbang and received permission to read dear-tiger's alive and well (and living in hell), which is about what happens when sam and dean get killed and dean goes to heaven (and HATES IT) and sam goes to hell (and meets jess). it's weird and dark and funny and a little surreal and very vaguely wincesty (mostly at the end), and i highly recommend it if it sounds like your kind of thing. but also, it's like 23k words which makes it much longer than anything else i've ever podficced, and i still have two someone-donated-money-to-a-worthy-cause-in-exchange-for-a-podfic podfics i have to do. (how many times can i use "podfic" in a sentence? :D ) but also also, i have until i think may to do it.
(one of my favorite things about this fic is seriously how much dean hates being in heaven by himself and how hard he tries to get kicked out so he can go find sam. it seems like such a dean reaction to finding oneself in heaven without one's brother.)
on friday, parked in front of my office, was a big black suv with a big red fuzzy-looking reindeer nose attached to the grille, and equally fuzzy-looking reindeer antlers attached to each of the front windows. every year around this time i always see a car somewhere with antlers stuck to the windows, but i think this is the first time i've seen a car with antlers and a rudolph nose. it was adorable.
also happy birthday to cantarina1, podficcer! and sharer of nifty-ass linkspams, and also also happy (late >.< ) birthday to beanside, fangirl, writer, and beloved of nilchance. (i got to meet them at the baltimore wincon, and they are very cute together.)
